splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses

2012-06-13T19:16:42Z

Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

relay: prevent integer overflow in relay_open()

2012-02-10T08:04:49Z

"subbuf_size" and "n_subbufs" come from the user and they need to be capped to prevent an integer overflow. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12Z

The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them onto the isolated export header for faster compile times. Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of: -#include +#include This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

Clean up relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc rather than vmalloc and memset

2010-11-05T15:21:34Z

We can optimize kernel/relay.c::relay_alloc_page_array() slightly by using vzalloc. The patch makes these changes: - use vzalloc instead of vmalloc+memset. - remove redundant local variable 'array'. - declare local 'pa_size' as const. Cuts down nicely on both source and object-code size. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl Acked-by: Pekka Enberg Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

kernel/: convert cpu notifier to return encapsulate errno value

pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes

2010-05-21T19:12:40Z

This patch adds F_GETPIPE_SZ and F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl() actions for growing and shrinking the size of a pipe and adjusts pipe.c and splice.c (and relay and network splice) usage to work with these larger (or smaller) pipes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
